    Adding to the Flock

    I am adding 6 new chickens to my existing flock of 5. The new hens are 3 years old, my flock is 1 y/o. Do I still need to crate/separate the new hens?

    Lost My Ameracauna

    Last Friday I couldn't find my Ameracauna, Sansa. The previous day my neighbor saw both 'caunas on the wrong side of the fence and put them back in, so I thought she'd jumped again and that she'd come home. Well...not so lucky. My boxer, Grace, found her at the back fence. It looked like...

    Moving to a New Coop

    We have the shed ready and some of the girls are laying in there already but how do I get them to sleep in there? I closed their old coop door last night and left the shed door open, but they all laid on the top of their coop waiting for the door to be opened. Any suggestions?

    Moving Eggs?

    We're in the process of moving the hens from their original coop to our shed, the girls are laying their eggs in it already so I think it will be an easy transition. Yesterday I witnessed one of the leghorns moving her egg using the crook of her neck. Is this normal? Also, some of the hens...

    Hawk

    Had a hawk try to land on one of my birds! Thankfully, the dog and the boyfriend saw him at the same time and he flew away. Aria fled to the coop and was not harmed. We have a huge yard and can't do netting. Any suggestions to keep Mr. Hawk away would be appreciated.

    Many Questions About Egg Laying

    Okay, I'm a total novice. We got our chicks in early April, I have no real idea how old they were at the time. My Leghorns have red combs and wattles (don't know if that's the correct terminology), they're about 16 weeks I think. I let them sit in the nesting boxes, is this going to cause...

    Clipping Wings

    I waited and waited, I didn't want to do it, but my Leghorn, Princess Buttercup, is a serial fence hopper. I clipped her wing on Friday; Saturday and Sunday were uneventful, but today I found her once again in the neighbor's yard. What can I do now to keep her contained? This pic was prior to...
